a solo winner.......2002-10-26

No longer the gritty, wild sounding Cheb Sahraoui, of the days when he sang with his then wife and singing partner Cheba Fadela, and they had the great 1983 hit "N'Sel Fik", after living many years in France, this is a smoothed-out Sahraoui, his smoky voice tamed to include many styles in his repertoire, like Cuban salsa, hip-hop, "pop-balade", and flamenco...but his voice is still thrilling, with enough of the sensual fire in his sound to make this a very special CD.

Though it took me several hearings to get used to the new, sleek Sahraoui, this is now a big favorite at Chez Vernon. The musicianship is excellent, and the production top-notch.
It's a great selection of songs, with "Ya M'Ba", "Pas de Chance", and "Yallah" the choice picks.
"Aini" is a rousing flamenco flavored number, where he's joined by Chico and the Gypsies (Chico was an original member of the Gypsy Kings), and the more I hear the slow, jazzy "Aimes Moi", the more I love it...the arrangement is gorgeous, by Habib Norbert, who also does the lovely piano and guitar work.

Sahraoui was born in Oran in 1961, and was a pioneer of rai music, after being classically trained at the Oran Conservatory, and this is his first solo CD.
Total time is 45'12, and the foldout insert has recording info, an abreviated version of the lyrics in French, and photos of this wonderful star, looking radiantly handsome, and so youthful.

An Interesting Rarity.......2003-10-24

When it comes to popular operas, Cherubini's LODOISKA is probably not at the top of too many lists. As a matter of fact, even the most well versed opera lovers have probably never heard of the piece, let alone whistle its memorable arias and duets. Some music lovers may be familiar with the opera's powerful overture, but that's about it. All of this is probably rather sad when you consider that in his day, Luigi Cherubini was a very well loved and highly regarded composer. In his younger years he was a contemporary of Mozart, Beethoven, Hadyn, and Schubert, and in his later years Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini, and rivaled some of these composers in popularity. Sadly he is virtually unknown today.

LODOISKA is a period piece and its plot is the rather familiar "rescue opera" of which Beethoven's FIDELIO is probably the best example. The lovely Princess Lodoiska is in love with the handsome and dashing Prince Floreski. The only person who stands in the way of the lovers' happiness is the evil Baron Dourlinski. Fortunately Floreski has made a pact with the Tartars who help him save his love just before she will be forced to marry Dourlinski. The opera ends with the two love birds living happily ever after.

This set of disks is from a live recording from La Scala in Milan. Riccardo Muti is the conductor. Since this is the only recording of the opera available today (at least I do not see any others listed), it is also the greatest since it has no competition. Mariella Devia and Bernard Lombardo do well as Lodoiska and Floreski respectively. The second act of this recording is the strongest and probably has the most musical appeal. Unfortunately the first act is not all that gripping, but this is due more to the blandness of some of the music and not the performance. This opera will probably not be in the disk player all that often, but it is an enjoyable set to listen to for a change.
